Several pets available for adoption

Sweetwater Animal Control currently has several pets available for adoption.Available for adoption are a pair of mixed breed puppies, one white and one brown, a female Calico and her kitten, a black and white male mixed breed puppy and a black and white female cat with her five kittens. Sweetwater’s animal control officer, Don Kite would like to remind the public not to abandon animals at the shelter. The female cat with her five kittens were left at the door of the shelter in a cardboard box. If the mother had not been with the kittens, they would have been put down.According to Kite, animals that are picked up are kept for a minimum of three days, but he tries to keep them from a week to 10 days.Dogs and cats are available for adoption for a $15 fee and the cost of getting the pet vaccinated for rabies.The pets are required to have their vaccination before they leave to their new homes.For those interested in adopting a pet, call the Sweetwater Animal Shelter at 236-6139. If there is no answer, just leave a message and they will get back to you the same day or the next day.
